    I agree BLNR now that he said it wasn't a Daytona. Could be a Deep Blue.

    It is Parkhouse :)
    Got the BLNR there last year and ended up selling in relatively quickly. This is the one I have been waiting for ...

    Wow absolutely beautiful.
    I am very tempted by one of these.

    How long did you have to wait?

    It's always a joy (and a rare one too) to see a DSSD on a wrist that's big enough to pull it off.

    Enjoy.

    How does the DSSD compare to the POC?

    I think they wear quite similar although wasn't a direct comparison today I did try on the omega speedmaster moonphase today which was very nice. DSSD may feels little chunkier but could also be because it is on the bracelet rather than strap

    Thanks - I have a fairly flat wrist, but it is a close call :)

    The question of what is printed on the warranty card was mentioned in another thread. Does it say "d blue" on it?

    Yes, forgot to check that. It actually just says 116660 as can be seen in the pic. No mention of Deep Blue aside from written in pen on the outer white cardboard sleeve (I got to keep that too) :P
